November Birthday Dance

Sundance CW Dance Weekend 2025
at the World Gay Rodeo Finals
October 9–12, 2025 • Reno, NV
Mark your calendars now! Sundance is going to host a full-fledged country-western dance weekend in conjunction with the World Gay Rodeo Finals in Reno, Nevada, next October 9–12, 2025. We'll have four nights of dancing in up to two rooms, three days of dance workshops in up to three rooms, and dance exhibition performances.
The host hotel is a complex of three adjacent casino resorts known as "The Row." Reno is conveniently served by an airport that is minutes from The Row, and an Amtrak station just two blocks away, or it's a four-hour drive from San Francisco.
If you want to be involved with the planning, email us now! You can help us make this a weekend to remember.
Volunteers Needed

Our needs at Sundance Saloon include set-up, front door, and coat-check. Shifts are generally one hour. No experience necessary.
